Abstract:
A process and installation for the treatment, particularly softening, partially or fully desalting water, aqueous solutions, acids and the like, in which the liquid being treated is conducted through a resinous-bed ion exchanger, and in which the partially exhausted ion exchanger resin is removed from the bed in charges, regenerated by passing a regenerating material through the charge and re-entrained in the bed. A liquid which is to be treated is conducted at a vertical motion component from above downwardly into the inflow end, and with a vertical motion component from the bottom upwardly out of the outflow end of the resinous-bed ion exchanger, and in which the charges during the liquid treatment are removed from the bed at its outflow end and re-entrained at its inflow end.
